Tips and Support for New Graphic Designers

I decided to create this forum to help new graphic designers, like myself who are just getting started in the field of commercial design. I plan to share any helpful information I have come across as I build my business. Even more important, I hope veteran designers will share their experience and advice as well.

I am 28 years old and beginning my second career as a graphic designer. I am California born and raised (yes there are some people who are actually born here). However I will be moving to Dallas, TX in May '06. My fiance is from TX and I hope to build a solid business and quality lifestyle there. Lower cost of living, no State income tax, and definitely less traffic on the highways!

Need a Good, Affordable Printer?

One very important element in the design business is printing services. Believe me when I say I have tried them all, from Kinko's to local print shops to online printers. Obviously when printing a high end project for a client you should use a local printer that has the right equipment and experience for the job. To find this out, simply visit your local printers, interview them, tour their facilities if possible.

However, for the majority of your projects a good online printer will probably make the most sense for your client and for your profit margin. Usually they use digital printers (which have come a long way, and produce great results), and they usually work on high volume which means better prices for you. I have found two online printers that have excellent pricing and offer excellent quality work. I use them for almost all of my business card, brochure and postcard printing. Try them both, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

If you know of any other printers that offer great service at reasonable prices, please share the the information.
